When Trouble Sleeps cover

Amaka returns in this gripping sequel to Easy Motion Tourist, and finds herself in more danger than ever.

When a plane crash kills a state gubernatorial candidate, Chief Ojo is chosen as his replacement. The same Chief Ojo who beat a young woman and left her for dead in the Harem, a secret sex club. The same Chief Ojo whose phone contained images and videos of child sexual abuse.

Amaka is the only person standing between him and election victory. As Ojo sends hired guns Malik and Shehu after her, and his powerful father-in-law, Chief Balogun, hires a gang of thugs to do the same, Amaka must outwit them all if she is to survive.

When Trouble Sleeps is terrifying and thrilling in equal measure." - Nudge Books
